I adopted a puppy from Buddy Dog in 1995. I still have Bosco and he is doing great! I am taking care of my mother who has dementia and Bosco has done wonders for her. He is so gentle and spends alot of time sitting with her. She loves to sing to him, and ofcourse he gets tons of loving.

Midge has the greatest personality. While she acts like a dog in the way dogs are fun and exciting, she still has that cuddly need to be petted that is so great in cats.

Princess, now called Jazmine has been a wonderful addition to our family. We couldn't be happier to have found her. Thank You!

Although it has only been a few months, Foxy (now known as Dolly) has enriched my life. She makes me laugh daily with her bulldog antics. A day does not go by without someone complimenting me on how beautiful she is. I always follow the compliment up with " I adopted her at Buddy Dog"!

Houndini (now Jumbie) is the best puppy! It only took him one day to learn to sit and give his paw. Housetraining has also been a breeze. He now has a new best dog friend "Amba." She is so happy to have a friend again. They play all the time. Here is a picture of our little guy. We are all as happy as he looks. Thanks to all of you for what you do.

Ria has brought us so much joy in the short time we have lived together. She cracks us up, especially the way she stretches and sings--- the vet thinks she has some Basenji in her. Training classes are going very well and we were pleasantly surprised to find she was already housebroken.

Two years ago we adoopted a very shy beagle. She was so nervous she would shake and didn't want to be petted. Here is a picture of her this morning, lounging in Anne's lap. As you can see, she has come a long way! Thank You for saving her so that we could make her a part of our family. Sara and Anne

Take care of my friends at the shelter, I hope you can find them all new families too! Love, Maelo

The holidays are so much more fun when we have pets to share them with!

You would never know looking at this picture that Sally was one of our harder to place dogs. Sally's exuberant behavior put alot of folks off, but not Jared and his Dad!
